Eric Jones, Ivan Merritt and I sat down to work on a zombie story. This was the result - Rise of the Dead - a pitch designed for either a comic series or a TV show. Eric and I had been producing zombie stories since the mid-90's (though only a few were published). This collaboration on what had been a mostly ignored genre of horror culminated in the editing of a zombie anthology comic for SLG Publishing titled Zombie-O-rama. <br /><br /> We wanted to go further with this series, but it sadly was never picked up as a comic. We made a small bit of headway on having it produced in animation, but an agent we were working with at the time dismissed zombies as a dead end and ultimately vanished while working on this and our Little Gloomy option with 1492. We resolved our option with 1492 without an agent and saved the 10%. Sadly, we never were able to generate any further interest in Rise of the Dead. <br /><br /> The agent we were working purportedly with went on to help push Walking Dead through with AMC. So I guess he found there was a strong market for zombies after all. What a shock. People like zombies. <br /><br /> This work dates back many years. So, I expect the writing and concepts are pretty well played out and just awful at this stage. But Ivan and Eric's art is still quite nice. Colors are by Rusty Drake or Rikki Simons. I think. Like I said, it's been a long time.<br /><br /><br /> Point is: Check it out, but don't judge it to harshly. It's a product of another time. <br /><h1 style="margin-left: 45.0pt;"><i><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;</span></i></h1><h1 style="margin-left: 45.0pt;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UL57GYHasOE/UO8akXoGvmI/AAAAAAAAAGA/QdMcE4ymdiE/s1600/image002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="258" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UL57GYHasOE/UO8akXoGvmI/AAAAAAAAAGA/QdMcE4ymdiE/s320/image002.jpg" width="320" /></a><i><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;</span></i></h1><h1 style="margin-left: 45.0pt;"><i><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;</span></i></h1><h1 style="margin-left: 45.0pt;"><i><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">He’s coming to get you, Barbara.</span></i></h1><h1><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;</span></h1><h1><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;</span></h1><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;"> </span><br /><br /><h1><u><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">THE WORLD:</span></u><u><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;"></span></u><u><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;"></span></u></h1><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;;">Jason Taylor is a relatively young man (somewhere in his mid-twenties) fairly non-descript looking and considered by most who meet him, unmemorable. He is working a temp job as a file clerk in Los Angeles, California. His fiancée, Barbara, is in the process of finishing up her master’s degree in New York and will be joining Jason on the West Coast shortly.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;;">And unbeknownst to Jason, the world has just ended.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;;">Two days ago, a space capsule landed in the middle of the ocean. Upon retrieval, all the astronauts inside were found dead. Within hours of being brought to land and admitted into a government installation, the bodies of the astronauts rose from their examination tables and began killing everyone within reach. To make matters even worse, when the capsule was opened, something beside the bodies of the astronauts was let loose. Something bacterial. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cAvF5RCgaAE/UO8amlAZ1vI/AAAAAAAAAGU/UM6uB0BUXRM/s1600/image018.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cAvF5RCgaAE/UO8amlAZ1vI/AAAAAAAAAGU/UM6uB0BUXRM/s1600/image018.jpg" /></a><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;;">While most people would find themselves immune to the initial effects of the airborne virus, it would soon be discovered that 10 percent of the population would die rapidly once exposed. The virus would then cause the body to rise from the dead in a grotesque parody of life. These zombies would have only one biological imperative. The basic need to feed – and they feed only on living flesh. Their blood and saliva is infectious, and even those immune to the airborne version of the plague will rapidly succumb to this mutated and more deadly form.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;;">The end result is rapid, widespread destruction. Civilization ends up being a surprisingly fragile thing as more and more of the populace succumbs. Within two days zombie uprisings have reduced the city of Los Angeles (amongst many others) to urban chaos. And this is the world that Jason Taylor has unknowingly awoken to. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;;">Jason has one overriding goal: to travel across the country by whatever means possible in search of his fiancée Barbara, who he hopes still survives somewhere in the city of New York. The journey of Jason Taylor shows us every type of conceivable Americana. From the streets of LA, where widespread destruction has taken over, to the city of Las Vegas, where each casino has become a warring island of humanity, to the sprawling land of Texas where the military prepares its last stand against an invader impossible to destroy. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><u><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">THE STORY:</span></u></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;;">Due to the structure of the world and the motivation of the main character, story ideas are fairly limitless. In a world where zombies have taken over, a thousand different survivors could react in a thousand different ways. This allows us to see Americana at it’s most desperate and extreme; to see how people react when all the institutions that keep them in check are violently stripped away. All this is easily witnessed through the eyes of our main character, Jason Taylor.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><u><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">THE CAST:</span></u></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;;">JASON TAYLOR: </span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gMolGd3fAow/UO8akDQ6m8I/AAAAAAAAAF4/85Z_z-nyljc/s1600/image004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gMolGd3fAow/UO8akDQ6m8I/AAAAAAAAAF4/85Z_z-nyljc/s1600/image004.jpg" /></a><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;;">A non-descript man in his mid-twenties, Jason has never pictured himself as a hero.

He has recently relocated out to the West Coast, and is in the process of preparing his apartment for when his fiancée, Barbara, moves out from New York to join him. When the zombie outbreak occurs, Jason has to fight against the natural human impulse to hide from this horrific threat, and begin his journey across the dangerous landscape that once was the United States of America.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HY6lkREwx5w/UO8akro-8iI/AAAAAAAAAGo/9mwTeussvp4/s1600/image008.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HY6lkREwx5w/UO8akro-8iI/AAAAAAAAAGo/9mwTeussvp4/s1600/image008.jpg" /></a><b><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;;">&nbsp;</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;;">BARBARA LEE:</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;;">Never seen beyond a battered photo in Jason’s wallet, Barbara represents all of Jason’s hopes and goals.

He is not an uncompassionate man, but his strong adherence to the military hierarchy limits his flexibility. As the world (and subsequently, the military organization) around him begins crumble, so does his mental state.

If you are bitten or scratched by a zombie, you will quickly die and become a zombie yourself. All trace of your former personality will be lost; and all that will remain is a mindless desire to feed on the flesh of living humans. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Sj9-PkY-rRg/UO8anzUKlYI/AAAAAAAAAGk/OE3pNhUsz1c/s1600/image026.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Sj9-PkY-rRg/UO8anzUKlYI/AAAAAAAAAGk/OE3pNhUsz1c/s1600/image026.jpg" /></a><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;;">The cause of this outbreak is largely unknown to our main character - he simply wakes up one day to a world where the dead have risen from the grave - but the military rapidly begins conducting research on this phenomenon. The hope is to create some form of counter agent that will destroy all traces of viral infection. In short, ending the zombie plague. But whether or not this is possible remains a mystery. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LaddW-UnPQ4/UO8anroY_5I/AAAAAAAAAGg/pbcUPH00omQ/s1600/image024.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LaddW-UnPQ4/UO8anroY_5I/AAAAAAAAAGg/pbcUPH00omQ/s1600/image024.jpg" /></a><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;;">&nbsp;</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;;">In the meantime, the only way to stop a zombie is to destroy the brain. Any other damage will only inconvenience them. The contagion that brings the zombies into existence is quickly shown to only affect certain species, specifically members of the primate family. Monkeys, gorillas and humans are all susceptible to the virus. Other species are immune.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qcXbPumCDQo/UO8anBFH9bI/AAAAAAAAAGc/LmLdwahpyrI/s1600/image022.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qcXbPumCDQo/UO8anBFH9bI/AAAAAAAAAGc/LmLdwahpyrI/s1600/image022.jpg" /></a><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;;">Zombies decompose at a much slower rate then a fully dead body. This means that a zombie can remain active for months past the point where a normal corpse would have rotted away to bones. In addition, a zombie that feeds on live flesh will actually heal to a degree, although not to the point of becoming fully human again - but a zombie will become stronger and faster the more it feeds.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;;">Because their bodies are essentially dead, zombies require no food or rest. They are single-minded. Once they sense the presence of a human, they will continue to pursue their victim until they are completely physically disabled. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ydaLt23o-6M/UO8am3wm0gI/AAAAAAAAAGY/73RNfWPv0xA/s1600/image020.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ydaLt23o-6M/UO8am3wm0gI/AAAAAAAAAGY/73RNfWPv0xA/s1600/image020.jpg" /></a><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;;">When lacking the stimuli provided by prey, zombies typically become fairly dormant. Because of this, it becomes difficult to differentiate between a regular corpse and an active zombie. From time to time however, zombies will go through grotesque reenactments of their former lives: a zombie might try to read the paper or drive a car. Of course, they lack the brainpower to do any of their former tasks properly, but this does not stop the tiny spark of memory in their minds from compelling them to try.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal"><b><u><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">LOCATIONS:</span></u></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;;">LOS ANGELES:</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;;">The crowded city of Los Angeles is hit hard. The streets are filled with cars, abandoned during rush hour. Fires rage through parts of the city. Unsurprisingly, the more urban areas are now some of the safest, as the residents of these low income regions were already well armed. But eventually, through a lack of any proper defensive structures, these regions also fall to the sheer numbers of the zombie horde.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;;">THE ZOO:<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;;">When the plague first begins to spread, some compassionate soul decides the animals of the zoo would be better off roaming free than starving to death in their cages.

The survivors within the casinos represent some of the worst that humanity has to offer. They guard their neon tower fortresses viciously against any invaders, be they zombie or human. The streets of Las Vegas show the city’s tattered dreams. Undead showgirls stagger through the streets trailing dirty gowns of feather behind them. Young men visiting the city for bachelor parties feast on the flesh of strippers.

He gets up, brushes his teeth, and gets in his car to leave for work and hits gridlock traffic. The day stops being average when a horde of zombies stagger out of the morning fog and shamble their way down the freeway, killing everyone in their path. Jason narrowly escapes an untimely death, but as he looks to the city he sees smoke, fire and chaos everywhere. Jason spies a nearby electronics store with televisions in the window. On the TV is a special news bulletin urging all survivors to head to the nearest police station for safety. The news bulletin then goes on to show various parts of the country, all in a similar state of devastation, including New York City. Panicking, Jason tries calling Barbara on his cell phone but the signal is completely dead. Jason’s first and only real concern becomes clear at that moment: he somehow has to get to New York and find out what’s happened to his fiancée.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;;">EPISODE 2: The Law</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;;">Our hero arrives at the police station seeking aid and sanctuary. The police are barricaded within their own headquarters. Jason is unable to find any aid getting out of the city. As more survivors flock to the police headquarters, the decision is made to disallow any more refugees’ sanctuary. Jason is at odds with this, but as a refugee himself, he is given little say in the matter. Infighting reaches a boiling point as paranoid police officers and desperate survivors begin killing each other. Eventually the living dead find their way into this last haven of the city. Jason escapes, but it is unknown if there are any other survivors.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;;">EPISODE 2: The Jungle</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;;">Deciding that his safest bet is to travel alone through the suburbs, Jason’s path leads him close to the city zoo. Unfortunately, sometime during the upheaval most of the zoo’s animals were freed. Even more unfortunately, it appears that monkeys and gorillas are equally susceptible to the zombie plague that has broken out throughout the country.

Unfortunately the dead have a similar idea and Jason must make his way through this underground maze of pipes and passageways without being detected by the multitude of zombies. To make matters worse, the zombie gorillas have tracked Jason into the sewers and are actively hunting him. Caught between certain death at the hands of the simian zombies and possible death from the fall at a great height, Jason jumps from a drainage pipe into a river.

He is in the care of a group of survivors just outside of town. They are holed up in a makeshift fort (really a former RV camp). They find him down by the river and nurse him back to health. Jason must come to grips with the fact that he is developing feelings for one of his rescuers, a pretty girl by the name of Polly.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;;">EPISODE 6: Shelter, Part 2</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;;">With increasingly frequent zombie attacks on the makeshift fortification, Jason becomes restless.

With Dylan driving, Jason and Polly learn more about each other’s pasts. Just as the inevitable sexual tension between the pair is becoming too much to resist, the RV finally breaks down. With no other real options available, the trio packs up as many supplies as they can carry and head out on foot. But the going is slow, Dylan is recovering poorly from a zombie bite he received at the camp and their water supply is very low. To make matters even worse, far across the flat desert horizon, the trio can see a large number of tireless zombies following their trail. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;;">EPISODE 8: The Desert</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: &quot;Courier Final Draft&quot;;">Slowly the trio continues across the desert.

The casinos have become the final citadels of humanity in the Nevada desert.

If you haven’t noticed, then pretend I never said anything and go about your business. For the rest of you, here’s the deal:<br /><br />Several weeks ago two of colorist Michael (Rusty) Drake’s kids were hit by a truck while riding their bikes home from the store. The short version is that they are both okay. The longer version is that Rusty’s son suffered a brain contusion and his daughter an injured ankle. This meant several days of stress and uncertainty. Things are better now, and both kids are home from the hospital and receiving continued treatment.<br /><br />The upshot here is that the latest issue of Danger Club is now running late. Though we hoped to catch up, life has a way of putting things on hold and we’re unwilling to replace any member of our team under such circumstances. Please rest assured that the book is well underway, and that it will be out soon. Also please understand that this does slip into our next issue's schedule and so on; a domino effect that means the next couple issues will likely also be on the late side while we rush to play catch-up.<br /><br />Our apologies for the delay.<br /><br />Landry Q.

Her comics are awesome and her art is fantastic. By all accounts, she's also very nice. I'm a fan of her work myself. So... sure. You want to make sure you have good seats. I get that.<br /><br />But listen, that panel you came in on that was only halfway through? The one that was running before Kate Beaton's panel? The one that you pushed your way into the few empty seats left up near the front - sandwiching your way in-between teary eyed - and in some cases - openly weeping people?<br /><br />It was a fucking memorial. <br /><br />Yeah, you basically crashed a memorial for someone very dear to the world of comics who died at a young age just so you could make sure you had the very best seats to see Kate Beaton talk in a panel that will probably be available on the internet. <br /><br />Now, to be fair: Some of you waited patiently in the back. No problem with you guys. Some of you didn't wait in the back - but had the good taste to get up and leave when you realized what was happening. You're okay too. But some of you stuck to your guns, ignoring the emotional upheaval around you, and played games on your phone. <br /><br />You're the ones I take issue with. I honestly wanted to walk down from the table I was sitting at, and punch you right in your faces. But I didn't, mainly because I have more courtesy than you showed yourselves capable of. Yes, it was a memorial open to the public. But if you're going to crash such a thing, maybe you should at least pretend to pay attention, rather than gossip with each other while smiling and pointing to things in the program guide between your inconsiderate bouts of texting. It was rude and it was distracting and it was a perfect example of what I have learned to hate in comics fandom and humanity in general.<br /><br />Yes, you were few. But it takes very few people to disrupt a memorial. Seriously, what the hell were you thinking? And how the hell can you feel okay with what you just did? <br /><br />Oh wait, I know the answer. You didn't care. You don't care. Because you're self entitled assholes. Thanks so much for reinforcing my hatred of the world.http://landrywalker.blogspot.com/2011/10/go-to-hell-few-very-specific-kate.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Landry Walker)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7725520681967859516.post-8322768303538649924Wed, 14 Sep 2011 23:14:00 +00002011-09-14T16:14:58.449-07:00all agesinterviewreviewssupergirlSupergirl: Cosmic Adventures - Reviews and interviewIt&#39;s been a rough week.

There's 20 years of history constantly welling up in my mind whenever I stop repressing my gut reaction to this. <br /><br />Sometime in the mid-nineties, Dylan and I began an imaginary feud. This was mostly born out of a response to some poorly informed observations made about Eric Jones and myself and our relationships with certain people (Dylan included) that Ariel Bordeaux had made in an interview (1997?). The same interviewer was speaking to us and doing a Puppy Toss retrospective article for a local Berkeley paper, and Dylan and I each spoke separately to him about the huge conflict between us that never happened. I think Eric was in on this fabrication too. We claimed that it all ended in a brutal fist fight. We tried to spread word of this feud whenever possible, but I don't think anyone actually ever believed it. Eventually, we just gave up.<br /><br />Eric, Dylan and I also had plans on working together under the name Darcy Lynn Lidera (I'm probably misspelling it, it was a combination of our three names). We did a one page piece, meant to appear in an anthology that Scott Morse invited us to participate in. Sadly, that anthology (also the comic Little Gloomy was originally created for) was never published. I believe Scott (maybe) still has the original page, something I will have to harass him about someday.<br /><br />Dylan took the art of comics very seriously. But he found taking ourselves as comics creators seriously, in an industry that should be fun, kind of amusing. We never had the energy to really pursue the practical jokes we planned. But we liked planning them.http://landrywalker.blogspot.com/2011/09/dylan-williams-and-our-imaginary-feud.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Landry Walker)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7725520681967859516.post-1172047680411856079Sun, 11 Sep 2011 01:55:00 +00002011-09-10T18:56:34.040-07:00dylanrest in peacesparkplugR.I.P.

But I won&#39;t ever be. Dylan Williams, artist and publisher of Sparkplug Comic Books has passed away.<br /><br /> <!--/w:LatentStyles--><br />I first met Dylan over twenty years ago. It was a brief meeting at a run down comic book store. Months later, I met him again on the street while I was in the middle of a scavenger hunt. One of the items to collect was &quot;a stranger&quot;. I tried to get Dylan to join us, though as I had met him before it was a bit of a cheat.<br /><br /> <br />He declined to participate, but we still became good friends. We worked together at Comic Relief. We were two of the founding members of the small press collective called Puppy Toss. We collaborated on several comics projects together. We would critique and proof-read each other&rsquo;s work. He was with me the first time I met my wife, and he drove me to Sacramento at the drop of a hat when she was in the hospital. We went to Disneyland together when his girlfriend broke up with him. I was there when his wife Emily wasn&#39;t his wife yet and was only known as &quot;that Paper Heaven Girl&quot; - the one Dylan had an obvious obsession for.<br /><br /> <br />Dylan taught me about the history of comics. He helped me understand the beauty of Toth and the genius of Ditko. We spoke every week, working out various problems with life together. So much of who and what I am as writer and as a human being can be laid at his feet.<br /><br /> <br />I just spent a week with Dylan at the hospital. We talked about comics and Doctor Who and what makes storytelling strong. I was there on my 40th Birthday and Dylan and Emily conspired to pick me up a hamburger cake. It was a great birthday for me, getting to spend time with my friend. He kept apologizing for the circumstance, but it wasn&#39;t important to me. His company overshadowed any negative impact of the surroundings.<br /><br /> <br />When I left, he was getting healthier every day. We planned my return trip. Despite his ongoing health concerns, his passing was unexpected. I will miss him. I cannot describe how much I will miss him. But more importantly, the entire world of comics should mourn his passing. His understanding of the medium was exceptional and his efforts and dedication to help bring unusual artistic perspectives to the world was invaluable to the evolution of the medium.<br /><br /> <br />When he became ill, I alsked him what I could do. He said&nbsp; &quot;promote Sparkplug Comic Books&quot;. His work as the publisher of Sparkplug Comic Books can be found <a href="http://www.sparkplugcomicbooks.com/">here</a>.<br /><br /> <br />Rest in peace Dylan.</p><br /><br /><br /><!--/p--><br /><br /><a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/xray_studios/pic/000c260c/"><img alt="" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/xray_studios/pic/000c260c" style="width: 604px; height: 304px;" /></a><br /><br /><!--/a-->A picture of a picture of Dylan, me and Eric at Disneyland around 1995 - I think.http://landrywalker.blogspot.com/2011/09/rip-dylan-williams.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Landry Walker)5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7725520681967859516.post-1665297528821888705Sat, 13 Aug 2011 17:21:00 +00002011-08-13T10:24:20.101-07:00interviewsupergirlInterview on Supergirl Comic Box Commentary<a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/xray_studios/pic/000c11rk/"><img width="320" height="291" border="0" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/xray_studios/pic/000c11rk" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Eric Jones and were <a href="http://comicboxcommentary.blogspot.com/2011/08/interview-with-landry-walker-and-eric.html">interviewed</a> about a Supergirl sequel, writing Mad Hatter, The Danger Club and... well that's mostly it.
